37 Books That Will Make You Better at Business

No matter how many years of experience you have in your field, there is always more you can learn. Whether it’s from people you meet in line at Starbucks, your Uber driver, friends and colleagues, or a great book. You can take something away from every interaction.

I’ve met some incredible entrepreneurs, and whenever I can, I’ll ask them their favorite books to add to my mental list — I’m a huge fan of Audible and I’ll try and listen to at least one book a week. I highly recommend it.

One CEO, whom I am lucky enough to call a friend, Dan Price, has made headlines in the past year over his decision to raise his company’s minimum wage. I respect him a lot as a leader and mentor, and we share many of the same values, so when I compiled this list, I asked Dan for some of his favorites as well.

Per a recommendation from Marcia Maizel-Clarke, the founder of one of my favorite creative companies, Dogeared, I’ve included the Ruiz book because she believes it to be so life changing that she gives copies to her team. She said, “I love the energy and simplicity of his thinking to focus on personal development, communication, and relationships — personally and professionally.”

I’m a huge believer in sharing great leadership books with your team — being a leader means fostering the growth of your team however you can.
